The convoy stopped and went, and finally arrived at the teahouse at night after lighting up torches and rushing on.
The accompanying Baihu wiped the sweat from their foreheads and said to Xu He: "Mr. Xu, after unloading the goods, the brothers will leave overnight. The safety of the food will be left to you!"
Xu He frowned when he heard this and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
Baihu looked around in embarrassment, but finally shook his head and said: "Urgent military affairs, please forgive me!"
Seeing that he was tight-lipped, Xu He stopped asking questions, so he handed over his hands and thanked him: "See you later!"
The hundreds of households also bowed their hands and called the soldiers at the guard station to start unloading the goods.
While the goods were being unloaded, a commotion was heard in the tea farm, and everyone came to watch the fun, including the old and the young.
When everyone saw the food and their old acquaintance Xu He, they immediately relaxed.
Several young people who were familiar with Ding Ze had the courage to help with a smile.
Juan'er also saw many little sisters in the field who had been playing together since childhood. They ran over to chat together and looked at Xu He from time to time, making Xu He feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Wang Zhuer walked out holding Old Zheng's head.
Since the last incident, the imperial court has not sent anyone here, so Tuancha publicly recommended Mr. Zheng as the leader to lead everyone's lives.
When Old Zhengtou saw Xu He, he was surprised and said: "Mr. Xu, why is it you? You helped us get all this food?"
Xu He was also very happy to see his old friend, but when he heard these words, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Uncle Zheng, these are the grains that County Magistrate Chen squeezed out of the Yongfeng warehouse when he heard that everyone was suffering from the disaster. He asked me to deliver them to everyone!"
"but……"
"But these are not all for you, but the food from Dongtai, Liangduo, Anfeng, and Kuancha are all here!"
As soon as Xu He finished speaking, Wang Zhuer jumped up and asked loudly: "What? Four fields? This little food is not enough for us to wait until the autumn harvest, and we need four fields? Then you might as well not give it away, just go Let’s starve to death, it’ll be over in one fell swoop!”
Xu He didn't say anything after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Old Zhengtou and Ding Ze scolded him at the same time: "How should you talk to Mr. Xu?"
Old Zhengtou was nothing but an elder, but Wang Zhuer unexpectedly discovered that his eldest brother Ding Ze, who had been playing since childhood, also taught him this way.
He blushed and glared at Ding Ze: "You just ate a few bowls of rice from him and now you are ignoring the friendship we have had as brothers for so many years? Okay! Okay! I guess I misjudged you!"
Old Zhengtou scolded: "You are a second-rate thing. Mr. Xu is neither an official nor a clerk. You are not grateful to Baba for coming here. You are still saying that this is not the case and that is not the case. Where is your brain?" ?”
Wang Zhuer was scolded by Lao Zheng and felt a little unconvinced. He glanced at Xu He and said, "He has eight hundred eyes in his heart. I think we should be more careful!"
Old Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense to this stupid young man, so he turned to Xu He and said, "Mr. Xu, what's going on?"
Xu He pulled him aside, and then talked about the situation in the county, and then about Yongfengcang. Finally, Xu He said: "But don't worry, the imperial court has asked for this summer's grain to be withheld. There is no need to send it to the capital. It can be sent directly to the capital." Leave it to the affected states and counties to resettle the victims.”
"County Magistrate Chen asked me to tell you something. He said that he has already sent people to Changyingcang to pick up grain today. After arriving, he will deliver it to the four salt farms as soon as possible!"
When Old Zheng heard the guarantee from Chen Hua, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since it is County Magistrate Chen, then we must believe that all the kitchen households in the world are one family. Mr. Chen is from our kitchen household and knows our difficulties. !”
Xu He nodded and said: "There is a problem now. The court ambassador has not yet arrived, and the magistrates and magistrates are all circulating in the official department. There are four courts. I am afraid that I will follow Zhuer elsewhere. There seems to be a misunderstanding between brothers, so I came directly to you to ask for your help!"
Instead of feeling troublesome, Lao Zhengtou thought that Xu He regarded him as one of his own, so he happily patted his chest and said: "This matter is easy to handle. The other three fields are nearby. I will ask someone to ask them to speak." Someone who can help me come here."
Wherever there are people, there is an organization. Sure enough, the imperial court temporarily retreated, and under the natural environment, each major salt field has its own talker.
This is actually a good thing. Through the prestige cultivated during this period, these people may be the candidates to participate in Huai salt pricing on behalf of the kitchen workers in the future.
Lao Zhengtou didn't care that it was getting late, so he sent several young men to the other three salt farms overnight to inform them of the news, and agreed that early the next morning, the other three salt farms would bring people to pick up food.
Qiu Hushu was really sweating for Xu He just now. When he saw Wang Zhuer's bulging muscles and swollen veins, he thought that Xu He would definitely have a bruise this time.
Who knew that things would be arranged so smoothly.
This shocked him and the county government's subordinates and the third team.
There is no point in watching the unloading.
Xu He said to Old Zheng with great interest: "Uncle Zheng, have you tried the method I told you last time?"
When Lao Zhengtou heard this, he suddenly said excitedly: "I have tried it, I have tried it all. Master, you are really amazing. These methods have saved us countless efforts in daily life, and we have produced more salt. If we hadn't rushed During this natural disaster, if we took advantage of the fact that the government didn’t come, we could really make a fortune!”
Xu He frowned when he heard this and said, "Isn't all the salt you guys put in the sun a while ago was wasted?"
Lao Zheng glanced at Qiu Hushu and others, and then whispered: "No, we have saved some for a long time, it is estimated to be more than 50,000 kilograms!"
"What?" Xu He exclaimed with his eyes widened, "Fifty thousand?"
Old Zheng took Xu He's head and said in a low voice: "Please be gentle, these are private salts. Otherwise, I know you are a good person. Otherwise, if you are not from the salt field, I will never tell anyone."
Xu He looked around, and then whispered: "Why don't you take advantage of these salts?"
Old Zhengtou said with a hint of old man's cunning: "We and the Huaihe Salt Farm are in the same boat, and we are just waiting to sell them at a good price before the salt farm returns to normal."
Who says working people are stupid?
They are extremely cunning.
What is this called? Hoard them together and ship them out together.
Take advantage of the information gap in this era to earn a high price and get rich! "
Xu He gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "Awesome! I guess the eyes of the salt merchants are all red now that they have no salt to collect, right?"
Old Zhengtou smiled and said: "No, this flood just gives us another excuse! If it is delayed until July, I estimate that the price of salt will double! By then, eight cents of silver will be shipped!"
Xu He kicked the purple flowers on the side of the road, and then summed up in his mind. Previously, the market leader Dou squeezed Zao Ding and offered a price of two cents. This price was indeed too low, but it suddenly increased to one pound and eight cents. Old Zheng, you are very black. ah! But I like it!
